Regions

Vancouver Island, East Island, North Island, South Island, West Island.

Avalanche danger will increase today as new snow and wind form fresh slabs.

If you are seeing more than 20 cm of new snow by day's end, treat avalanche danger as one step higher.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations.

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanche activity has been reported.

If you head out, please consider posting your observations to the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

10-15 cm of new snow falls on predominantly soft or wind-affected snow surfaces, and possibly sun crust on steep solar aspects.

A thick, widespread crust is buried 10 to 60 cm deep, depending on location, elevation and wind. Below the crust, the remainder of the snowpack is generally settled and well-bonded.

Weather Summary

Saturday Night
Partly cloudy. 10 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.

Sunday
Cloudy. 10 to 15 cm of snow. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.

Monday
Cloudy. 15 to 35 mm of rain at treeline. 60 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 1 °C.

Tuesday
Mostly cloudy. 15 to 40 mm of rain at treeline. 70 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 5 °C.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avalanche danger is expected to increase throughout the day.
  • Avoid freshly wind-loaded terrain features.
  • Dial back your terrain choices if you are seeing more than 20 cm of new snow.

Problems

Storm Slabs

Storm Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer (a slab) of new snow that breaks within new snow or on the old snow surface. Storm-slabs typically last between a few hours and few days (following snowfall). Storm-slabs that form over a persistent weak layer (surface hoar, depth hoar, or near-surface facets) may be termed Persistent Slabs or may develop into Persistent Slabs.
